Steve Malbasa, President & Owner of Tartan Yachts said that they only built 1 additional hull # 26 after the Mai Toi before discontinuing this model.  They are on hull # 2 of the 4700 which replaced the 4400. Steve said with special yachts like the 4400 it is important to help existing owners retain value in this economy and one of the ways they can manage this is by controlling the number of models built.  This is evident in the resale value of the used 4400's above.

Annapolis for the winter

I can't believe it's almost that time again. It seems like we just commissioned and launched the boat  and we're already having to make plans to haul and decommission the boat for the winter.
We plan to haul and store the boat at Port Annapolis Marina this winter and spend next season sailing the Chesapeake before taking the boat to the Bahamas again the following winter.
We are planning to coordinate our arrival in Annapolis with the Annapolis Sailboat Show so that  we can utilize the boat during the show before we haul it on Monday 10/8 and decommission it for the winter.
ITINERARY FROM GUILFORD, CT TO ANNAPOLIS, MD.
Sunday 9/30, Day 1   Guilford to Manhasset
